Don't call the Humane Society on me but I'm punishing Pippin - crash davis Feb 22, 11:21
Question for SITV people - Beaker Feb 22, 11:09 9
- We love the weekly. As you sort of mentioned, so much more enjoyment out of it to have a week of thoughts/talks/speculation after each episode. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 11:23 1
  - I'm with David and Jim, absolutely hate it -- nm - decline Feb 22, 11:29
- I've had that conversation a number of times, although not necessarily on the show. - Mop Feb 22, 11:13 2
  - although Netflix has been doing some of the 1-2 a week method lately (like Sisyphus:The Myth that just came out) -- (edited) - decline Feb 22, 11:17 1
    - They're somewhat beholden to their international partners. The new season of the Great British Baking Show was weekly, too. - Mop Feb 22, 11:21
- We have some, yeah. I hate the old school weekly airing model. However, it makes sense for non-Netflix folks. They don't have as much new content. -- nm - David Feb 22, 11:10 3
  - We hate it too. So, we just save stuff like that and binge when it's all out. We did that with Mandalorian S2 and are doing it with Zoey - Johnny Lawrence Feb 22, 11:18 2
    - The data indicates some people do indeed prefer this method, as the Mandalorian was still charting 3 weeks after the last episode aired. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 11:22 1
      - We have consumed so much shit on Netflix during the pandemic that the wait for a weekly episode is something we really don't want to do anymore. lol - Johnny Lawrence Feb 22, 11:26
sitwap? scotus says NY can get donny's tax filings (cnn breaking news) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 11:08 1
- WAP, and to clarify, they didn’t actually rule on the merits, but declined to issue a stay of a lower court ruling for them to be turned over. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 11:20
I really didn't understand that Jezebel post. Does the person know Street Fighter isn't Mortal Kombat? - David Feb 22, 11:00 7
- Not satire. They just missed the mark and it’s a head desk moment. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 11:19
- What post? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 22, 11:15 1
  - Do an ST search for Jezebel. Someone there screwed up huge. -- nm - David Feb 22, 11:18
- Esp. since MK had an awesome female fighter with a leg move that gave me feelings. -- (edited) - Fozzie Baron Feb 22, 11:14
- Apparently not. They Emily Litellaed it. - Reagen Feb 22, 11:03 1
  - Good lord. Also, here's that person's twitter bio: "staff writer @Jezebel, masters degree from video game school" - David Feb 22, 11:05

Y'all are selling videogames the wrong way with groiny. Tell him that he can KILL YOU in Among Us. -- nm - David Feb 22, 10:53

Krusty! New Jersey governor signs laws to set up marijuana market -- (link) - decline Feb 22, 10:39 4
- What's the difference between a "regulated marketplace" and how we already sell alcohol/tobacco? - con_carne Feb 22, 10:50 2
  - in NJ alcohol is also a regulated marketplace with lots of laws and restrictions (NJ has some crazy complex laws regarding the sale of booze) -- nm - decline Feb 22, 10:58 1
    - Hold my 192 ounces of beer -- nm - PA Feb 22, 11:20
- Good for NJ! This should push NY to pass something sooner rather than later. I might be taking the PATH for the first time in 20+ years. :-) -- nm* - Krusty Feb 22, 10:42
Uh oh. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 22, 10:34 1

- No f***ing way. That's a "Tasmanian tiger", folks. They're believed to be extinct. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 10:26
I don’t know if the part where I’m bullied/peer pressured into watching the most recent WandaVision made it into SITV. - Tim Feb 22, 10:12 6
- I see Disney+'s Twitter is unafraid of the spoilers. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 10:51
- It made it. Also Reagan's impression -- nm - Pippy Feb 22, 10:32 4
  - I think the other one's in Friday's episode. -- nm - David Feb 22, 10:54 3
    - I omitted the other impression. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 11:23
    - One is during the ratings, one at Tim's pick of the week. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 11:01 1
      - (if they're both there) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 11:01

  - *sigh* You people are making me jealous. Search Party is going to be what gets me to get HBO Max, isn't it? -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 10:38 1
    - Everwood is what should be the reason. -- nm - David Feb 22, 10:55
  - The ending was great but the road there was a little bumpy -- nm - oblique Feb 22, 10:04 1
    - I kind of have the opposite view ... I loved all the weird shit along the way more than the resolution -- nm - rollo Feb 22, 10:06
- I Care, A Lot (B+), Idiocracy (C-), The Little Things (B-), Blue Thunder (B)...some gratuitous nudity (3 minutes of naked lady doing yoga) - Flavorize Feb 22, 10:03 2
  - 3 minutes? That's a crazy amount of nudity. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 10:59
  - Also, I swear Daniel Stern is about 17 years old, in Blue Thunder, and it's crazy to see -- nm - Flavorize Feb 22, 10:05
Considering how much MDH used to sleep around, I’m unsurprised that hotel chains treat him like a celebrity. - IAmQale Feb 22, 09:54 1
- I mean... -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 11:20
LIR: travel rewards cards. The combination of Chase Sapphire + Hyatt is fantastic. I am really enjoying the Hyatt value on their points and how - oblique Feb 22, 09:53 5
- Cool, thx. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 09:55
- An at some point I should look into using my sapphire rewards. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 09:55 1
  - I've been burning them with their Pay Yourself Back program. It's like 25-50% boosted value credited back to your statement for stuff like groceries, - oblique Feb 22, 09:58
- I keep forgetting that Hyatt is a thing -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 09:54 1
  - We booked 5(?) days at their all inclusive for August. I was going to use points but it was 70% off + money to use at the spa and stuff. It was too - oblique Feb 22, 09:55
Re: renewable stocks - ty97 Feb 22, 09:52
Don't piss off James Blunt. Noted. -- (link) - Mop Feb 22, 09:50 6
- oh yeah, he's renowned for epic Twitter burns. He searches his own name to do it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 10:08 5
  - Sounds like a person who needs a hobby -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 10:10 4
    - You mean, other than this one? -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 10:20
    - Or a person who needs a second hit. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Feb 22, 10:16 2
      - He apparently had 4 Top 10 hits in the UK where that person appeared to be tweeting from. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 11:01

- Nice! Bruce was on a recent episode of the Conan podcast and it was one of the better ones. One funny thing that Conan mentioned about Bruce was how - Krusty Feb 22, 09:50 5
  - I used to watch Conan a lot, I think he related something like that before -- nm - mud Feb 22, 09:53 4
    - His is the only late night show I still watch and his podcast is one of the better interview ones. I usually get bored with them but he's so - Krusty Feb 22, 09:56 3
      - I find he has a tendency - Reagen Feb 22, 10:03 2
        
        If you're smart enough to watch Conan, you're smart enough to go Googling for the "proper" interview somewhere else. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 10:14 1
        
        Or, you know, he could let his guests talk. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 11:05
- 'Renegades: Born in the USA,' -- (link) - mud Feb 22, 09:50
- I was literally just coming here to post that Bruce and Obama are doing a podcast together. I've never listened to a podcast. That streak may end. -- nm - pmb Feb 22, 09:49 6
  - It might be a good time to start. I dropped all podcasting activity last year because I got tired of hearing "due to the pandemic" in every context. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 09:53 1

Kevin Can F--- Himself - coming to AMC this summer - is seriously meta. -- (link) - Mop Feb 22, 09:40 [youtube] 8
- Alexis!!! -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 10:52
- This seems a rather cruel sequel to We Need To Talk About Kevin -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 10:23 1
  - Also, I guess Kevin didn’t save the world after all. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 10:37
- What was that? -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 09:53
- Thanks Scarlet Witch and Vision. You’ve ruined everything. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 22, 09:49

- The 49ers give up a SB QB and a top 15 1st for Kirk Cousins? - Will Hunting Feb 22, 09:45 2
  - Cousins was somehow a top 5 QB this year. PFF had him that high, too. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Feb 22, 10:13 1
    - This (like other stuff) feels like a flaw with PFF. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 22, 11:34

  - RIGHT?! - Mop Feb 22, 09:37 4
    - I mean, I am. And I’m downloading them. But I’ll admit to falling behind in episodes. I’m on episode 29 with like 15 min to go. -- nm* - IAmQale Feb 22, 09:50
    - Seriously, if you asked me how many there were I would guess maybe a dozen or so. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 09:38

  - Because he’s obviously personally deciding who gets it and who doesn’t. - znufrii Feb 22, 09:44 1
    - There's a big wheel. A really big wheel, that he spins. - Strongbad Feb 22, 10:04

    - It worked out for Laura Roslin. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 22, 09:50 1

- “I want an Oompa Loompa, daddy! Why can’t *I* have an Oompa Loompa!?!” -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 22, 09:30

  - She has a point. - Spawn Feb 22, 09:29
When I worked at Ramada, we would get $25 rooms as a bonus. The Renaissance in Atlanta charged $400 a night even then. - David, Horny New Guy Feb 22, 09:27 9
- To this day, I can't hear Ramada without thinking of Hot Shots! -- nm - Roger More Feb 22, 10:05
- Oh man, they only charge $170 a night now. How the mighty have fallen. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Feb 22, 09:29 7
  - Huh. The priciest place in town I can find right now is $279 for a suite and includes a $50 meal voucher. -- nm* - Reagen Feb 22, 09:55 1
    - This should be a poll next board. -- nm - Shaun Feb 22, 11:00
  - Are they open right now? We tried to book there this summer for the trip and they cancelled our reservation without telling us. - spamlet Feb 22, 09:34 2
    - I don't work for Ramada but I can tell you that - Pippy Feb 22, 09:48 1
      - I get that. But to just cancel and not let me know (and they still showed open rooms that night) was the problem. - spamlet Feb 22, 09:51
  - Should be interesting to see prices moving forward as recovery is in the forecast for the next two+ quarters -- nm - budice Feb 22, 09:34 1
    - Yeah, hotels are low everywhere currently. I can only imagine what prices will do when they realize people want out of their homes. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 09:40
Re: renewable stocks - are you selling today? If not then enh - Reagen Feb 22, 09:24 5
